This page is part of a list of original releases by release
date of international commercially-released regular stereo Dylan albums.
They do not contain rarities or obscurities and are not eligible for the Searching For A Gem list.
Nevertheless, their interest value or scarcity means they're worth listing here
- as far as I know some are not included on any other Internet site. Promo
releases of regular albums are now listed here and no longer in the former
yearly Promo sections.

If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to
existing entries, please let me know!
Please note I cannot value your Dylan rarities -
see the Mission page for reasons why. Contact the
dealers on my Trading page for assistance!

US release, Columbia CK 66783, 15 Nov 1994.

For liner notes commissioned from Christopher Ricks that were omitted
from the final release, see The Liner Notes That
Sank (these notes were for an album with a slightly different
tracklist).

Dignity, released here for the first time, was a previously unreleased
1989 out-take from Oh Mercy, although the version here was
remixed in 1994 by Brendan O'Brien. For promo and commercial CD single
releases with a radio edit of the version of Dignity from this album, see 1994.
The original 1989 version of Dignity was a rarity when released on the Touched
By An Angel soundtrack album in 1998. It was
later released in the UK and elsewhere on The Best Of Bob Dylan Vol. 2,
see 2000, on European releases of The Essential
Bob Dylan, see 2001 and
2003, and finally on the 2007 3CD
compilation Dylan, which meant it ceased to be a rarity.

Tracklisting: Tangled Up In Blue; Changing Of The Guards (original 6:36
version from the 1978 release of Street-Legal); Jokerman; The Groom’s
Still Waiting At The Altar (1981 single, now included on the CD release of
Shot of Love); Hurricane; Forever Young (slow version with The Band from
Planet Waves); Dignity (out-take from Oh Mercy, remixed by Brendan
O'Brien, exclusive to this album); Silvio; Ring Them Bells; Gotta Serve
Somebody; Series Of Dreams (from The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3);
Brownsville Girl; Under The Red Sky; Knockin' On Heaven's Door.

Except where noted, all tracks are from the original studio albums. For international albums with the title Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits
Vol. 3 with different
tracklists, seeInternational Album Releases
(Dylan-only Compilations). For the CD-Plus edition of this album, with additional
features accessible on Windows or Macintosh PCs, see 1995.

This cassette release has a long folded insert with song
credits on the reverse. The cassette is clear with white text, there
are no paper labels. Side 1 of the cassette has the inverted triangle
introduced in the USA for LPs and cassettes with Biograph in 1985.

This cassette release has the same
catalogue number as the US release. It has a long folded insert with song
credits on the reverse. The insert is the
same as the US release except for different copyright text on the outside as
shown. The cassette is transparent
smoked grey with white text and a different
text layout from that of the US release, there
are no paper labels.

As far as I know there
was no Canadian vinyl release.

Thanks to Gerd Rundel for information and scans.

Columbia CT 66783 (Canada) - cassette Side 2 scan by Gerd Rundel

"Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits
Vol. 3" - compilation 2LP set, Columbia 477805 1 (NL), Nov 1994:This set was manufactured in Holland, and released in Holland and France.
Was there a UK vinyl or tape release? (I only have the UK CD release.)

The front photo
is by Ken Regan, the rear photo is by Morgan Renard and the third photo (in
the cowboy jacket, and on an inner sleeve here) is
by Randee St. Nicholas. This 2LP set is in a single sleeve and the two records have
picture sleeves. The information sticker on the front wrongly claims Dignity
is a
"brand new" song - it was of course from 1989, and the original
version had been in the hands of
Dylan fans since at least 1990.

Thanks to Peter Pearson for information
and photos, and to Hans Seegers
for further information and scans. Hans Seegers' copy has plain inner
sleeves. Gerd Rundel's copy has an alternate round sticker with the same
text as my UK CD copy below.

This is one of the last Dylan items
released in Spain by CBS/Sony when this company no longer released vinyl. It
has a long folded insert with song credits on the reverse (although CBS had
changed its name to Columbia everywhere else in Europe in 1991 after Sony
Music bought the rights to use the Columbia name outside North America from
EMI, the Columbia name was separately owned by RCA in Spain, so Sony used
the Japanese CBS/Sony name in Spain in the 1990s). The insert is virtually
identical to that of the US release but with Spanish copyright and, although
it has all the panels, the song credits on the reverse are not complete
(Tangled Up In Blue is missing!). The cassette is transparent
smoked grey with white text, there
are no paper labels.

This cassette was
released in Poland by MJM Music on behalf of Columbia Records. The long
folded insert is virtually
identical to that of the US release but with some Polish text and this time
the song credits for Tangled Up In Blue are present. The cassette is transparent
smoked grey with black Columbia paper labels.

This 2LP set is again in a single
outer sleeve like the Dutch vinyl release above but the two records now have plain inner sleeves and there is a
double-sided insert with the same artwork as for the Dutch inner sleeves. The records have
orange Columbia labels and are numbered "229.045" and "229.046". They have
handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - 229045 A 1 477805, Side 2 - 229045 B 1
477805, Side 3 - 229046 A 1 477805, Side 4 - 229046 b 1 477805. Although it says
"(P) 1994" on the labels, the records have "(P) 1995" handwritten in the vinyl
after the matrix numbers.

The design on the inside of the front insert is from
the front photo, and the design on the inside of the rear insert and on the
CD itself is a crop of Bob's hands from the rear photo. The front insert is a three-fold card. As far as I know these releases are still on sale in the USA
and Canada.

This copy of the US CD release was imported into Japan by the Shinseido
record store chain, who have added their own black and yellow obi with white and
black text in Japanese and English with price ¥1,893. This is cheaper than
the Japanese release, which cost ¥2,300 (see below). There is a light blue
sticker in English promoting the "new" song Dignity. Other Japanese record
chains like HMV did not package their US imports with obis, so this copy is
very collectable.

This release has a round white sticker on the front of the jewel case
with text in black. Dignity is again misleadingly described as "brand new".
The packaging is virtually identical to the US CD release.

Thanks to
Éamonn Ó Catháin for the UK CD scan and to Bill Hester for the Australian CD
scan. The Australian release artwork is the same as the UK release.

This release was manufactured and
distributed in the Republic of South Africa (R.S.A.) by Gallo Record Company on
behalf of Columbia Records. It has the same inserts and CD design as other
worldwide releases. The three fold insert is the same as the UK insert except
for the R.S.A. CD number below the picture in the centre panel (the rear of the
front insert when folded as shown below).

For a US
import copy sold in Japan, see above. This
Japan-specific release has a purple, orange, white, black and blue obi
with price ¥2,300 (¥2,233 before
tax). The release date is shown as "94-12-1" (1 Dec 1994), with the
original release date as "94-11-15" (15 Nov 1994) and the withdrawal date as
"96-11-30" (30 Nov 1996). As well as the front insert, it has a booklet in
Japanese and English.

Wil Gielen has a promo copy with a
numbered promo sticker on the rear insert and "SAMPLE" in the clear centre
of the CD itself.

Thanks to
Hans Seegers, Moise Potié and Wil Gielen for information and scans.
